Digital Back Issues
In July, we received 3 years of digital back issues of Relatively Speaking published quarterly by the Alberta Genealogical Society. Most issues are 48 pages long and contain a wealth of information, too numerous to mention all of them individually. If you have family in Alberta, these could be very helpful to your research. A couple articles from the most recent issue are:
- “Cofio Euros Cyfrol goffa I Euros Wyn Jones” by Miriam Roberts. She reviews a volume of tribute to Euros Wyn Jones first published in Welsh in 2021, with Rev. John Pritchard as Golygydd Testun (editor of text).
- “Two Catholic priests serving God in early Alberta and Saskatchewan” by Denise Daubert. This is the first part of a two-part article about two brothers from Quebec who served as priests in western Canada, within the Oblate order. They are the ancestors of the author’s husband.
